Tittle-tattle at the pumps.

Went to fill up with petrol over the weekend and, in the way these things sometimes work, the forecourt was really busy, so I had to hang around for a good ten minutes. During this time I heard a good few conversations, and the majority of them were people moaning about the current high price of fuel - but more to the point, blaming "them" for it and saying that it might well influence the way they vote at the coming general election. So might motorist power be a factor in determining who wins? Might they be the "Great Ignored"?
